On September 29, Nokia Oyj rose 3.06% in regular trading, trading at $10.43/share, with turnover of approximately $116 million. The gain was driven by the announcement that leading Saudi digital service provider Zain KSA has fully deployed Nokia's Deepfield Cloud Intelligence platform across its communications network spanning more than 100 cities in Saudi Arabia.
The deployment aims to enhance network performance and operational efficiency while building an AI-ready digital data foundation in support of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 digital transformation strategy. Nokia's President for the Middle East and Africa, Mikko Lavanti, stated that the deployment will help Zain KSA optimize network investment and accelerate its transition toward a software-driven, AI-native architecture.
The move comes amid a series of strategic wins for Nokia, including a recently announced expanded partnership with Microsoft to integrate Nokia Data Suite with Microsoft Fabric for AI-driven network automation, as well as accelerating AI-RAN commercialization on NVIDIA platforms with multiple global operators. Analyst firm B. Riley recently initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $15 price target.
